Awesome. There is a color clip somewhere of him in Washington doing it in the regular season.

Jim Hart for the Cardinals
John Brodie for Niners
Had no idea the Rams ever wore those abominations, but I guess that's Roman Gabriel?
Stormin' Norman Snead and his buzz-cut with the Redskins
I think that would have to be Milt Plum for the Brownies, but I couldn't pick him out of a lineup with Professor Plum (with the candelabra, in the Conservatory), I confess.
Is that Bobby Layne for the Steelers?
I guess that's Earl Morrall still with the Lions (this has to be before 1966, when he and Gary Cuozzo helmed that horrible Giants team, but that was the debut year for the Falcons, so this is probably 1964 or so.)
Not the slightest clue about the Bears.

Milt Plum, Bobby Layne, John Brodie & Norm Snead are correct.

The year is 1961, BTW.

There are 4 left unidentified & they are the toughest. For me anyway. From back to front, Cardinals, Bears, Rams & Lions.

So is that Cuozzo on the Cards, then? (Not checking pictures or Wikipedia, obviously.)

Nope. I really would be impressed with anyone's memory if they got the last four.

That is Sam Etcheverry on the Cards, Bill Wade on the Bears, Steve Bratkowsky on the Rams, & Jim Ninowski on the Lions.

What I find odd is that I never knew Jonestown even happened. Nobody told me. I'm 11 years old so I don't watch the news. My parents don't tell me about the news, and I guess the same goes for my friends.

The first time I heard about this incident was when the movie came out. I was still young, so it couldn't have been too long after the incident.

I was 9. J'twn is one of he earliest news events I remembered. I think the summer of the "son of Sam" is the only one I can think of that pre dates it.

I remember the son of Sam. Everyone was talking about that.

Black Saturday: NASCAR's Darkest Night and the Lost Raleigh Speedway

W/North Carolina being the heart of NASCAR, I always wondered in the back of my mind why the capital city didn't have a track or race. But it never stayed in my mind long enough for me to research it. Then I ran into this YouTube video. I've actually driven right where this track used to be numerous times & didn't know about its history.
